Statement from Interim Leader Sonny Gallant on COVID-19

As we all know, this is a difficult time for our province, our country and our world. No one should minimize the concern we all feel.

During this period, it is important to follow a few basic rules:

Listen to the experts

Have faith in institutions, like government

Keep track of reputable advice, and especially from Public Health

This is a serious time, and it is very important of every one of us to be careful and responsible.

Take care of yourselves. Take care of your families. Do what you can to support your friends, neighbors and communities. If you know people who may be isolated and vulnerable, reach out to them by phone or email. A comforting voice or supportive note can mean a great deal. If you can, make a contribution to a charitable organization. Food banks will need help.

Be careful, be responsible. If you need help navigating your way through issues you may have, please feel free to reach out to any member of the Liberal caucus. I have included email addresses below this note for Robert Mitchell, Rob Henderson, Hal Perry, Heath MacDonald, Gordon McNeilly and myself.
